#BMGF's strategy relies on direct influence over all actors of the global development juggernaut: international institutions, university & science & research centers, private corporations & states gates.ly/38GFakq @drvandanashiva #Gates2GlobalEmpire bit.ly/NISynthG2GE Image The pattern usually goes something like this: The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, through their funded media partners, raise an issue of their interest to the global agenda with a proposed technology solution. 2/10
